I regularly challenge myself to think outside the box. As a multimedia artist it comes in handy sometimes. And I'm always trying to get others to look at things from a different perspective, open their minds to new ideas.

Sometimes it's hard to get something going...but you could just stop for a while and then bam it hits you...or you coul be watching something or reading something that catches your eye and you say to to yourself mac I wanna do that or can that be changed! You have to challenge yourself! Music get me inspired as well. I listen to alot of stuff when I'm designing....When it get boring that the time I quit

And with my mac thats helped me with everything from art to music to everything and anything

my mac is a transparent part of my creative process. i would hope that i would think different(ly) even if i didn't use a mac...but who knows. it certainly wouldn't be as easy without it. ( and i'd rather not find out for sure ).

this may sound corny, but i express myself by being a good father to my daughter and a good husband to my wife. its a big departure from the home-life i grew up in. so in that regard, i guess its very different.

I think different becaue I'm always doing something different to what everybody else is doing.

With my Mac I started to do political music against the actual president of my country in progresive, that is very different because Venezuela is a lating country and everything here is merenge related not techno related. Many people like it.

I express myself by challenging people to "Think Different". Not just with computers, but with everything in their life. I want people to look at the world differently, to actually make a difference in one persons life. That is to truely live.

I also try to think "outside of the box". By that I mean, I try to do something once a week that I have never done. Either a type of food, or go to a different church, things like that. I try to understand the opinions of other people, instead of telling them mine.

About the only thing you canÕt do is ignore them.
ÊÊÊÊÊÊBecause they change things.
Ê
They invent.ÊÊÊÊThey imagine.ÊÊÊÊThey heal.
ÊÊThey explore.ÊÊÊÊThey create.ÊÊÊÊThey inspire.
ÊÊÊÊThey push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song thatÕs never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones,
ÊÊÊwe see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

This is one of my favourites, and I think it has a much more powerful message than the "everything is easier" campaign. Somehow, the Think Different. is sooo appealing. It is a catch phrase that is subtle, with style and elegance, just like Apple is.
Just my two cents.
